1) No objective should be on your resume 2) I understand that you have no "real" work experience (a lot of sophomore don't). But you should at least have some kind of club activity that relates to finance.......

 

Agreed with axing the objective. Make sure your experience is listed chronologically, beginning with most recent. Use months (e.g. October 2011) instead of Fall 2011, and definitely bullet point those paragraphs. GL

 

As stated before do change format. In fact, the template is probably standard in the industry. I would use shorter and multiple bullet points instead of the paragraphs present. Also work on adding some experience if you can. Try to get a boutique internship or wealth management as it will help tremendously. Also I would eliminate relevant coursework as many finance majors have taken the same classes. If you have any special classes please include that, but if not delete the section. Lastly, education is ALWAYS the first section. A recruiter will look at your resume and wants to see where you attend college first. Be sure to keep formatting consistent....remember details matter. I hope this helps.
